Etched Art Glass Handwritten Letter Sister's Love

This art glass was created using a handwritten letter by a young girl that is now unfortunately deceased.  It was a section written to her sister, and commissioned as a gift by the living sister's boyfriend.  All the artwork - flower, xo, peace sign, and 'I love you!' - were part of the side doodles created and found in the letter.  A very endearing gift.

The artwork itself is made on a 10" x 8" x 1/4" thick Starphire glass (very clear).  It rests in a simple wood base with a slot.  Some cushions are on the maple wood stand and also inset from the four corners of the glass, so it may be displayed vertical or horizontal on a mantle or coffee table.  This was done using a photo resist after cleaning up a scan of the letter.  The sandblasting was done on the front surface as a flat frost with negative images, and on the back surface with a slight depth carved into the glass.
